This is the best kind of Stephen King book in that it only exists to tell a simple story that he probably had floating around in his head for a long time. And it's a gunslinger book, so you can't really go wrong with that. Love me some Roland and his ka-tet.
After reading some of the super negative reviews, I just have to say, "Get over it, people!" It's a novella, a story within a story between two books. What were you expecting? It's just good storytelling. ...more

I'm glad that King wasn't completely done with the Dark Tower universe he created over so many books and years. This was a great addition and filled in a lot of blanks for me. I really loved the story in a story in a story structure. This book reminded me that Roland the Gunslinger is so much more than just a man with a gun, he's a man with a story to tell, but he takes his own sweet time in the actual telling.

A lovely dark tower fairy tale... Makes me want to go back and retread the whole series.
